There are certain apps that an iOS-using productivityist should have close at hand. But many of these apps get buried in organized folders or live beyond the realm of the home screen. That means that having an app much like LaunchBar for iOS isn’t just ideal…it’s essential. That’s why I’m such a big fan of […]
I’ve got my own book coming out in the not-too-distant future, but I feel a little bit like my friend Brett Kelly does about this whole ‘selling’ business around it. 1 That said, I’d be foolish if I didn’t understand that it had to be done. So while I’m not big on hard-selling things, I
I’ve been using Asana for quite some time now, and with all of the active development it has going on it is reminding me of how Evernote does things. In fact, I’ve been using Evernote more lately as well, meaning that a large chunk of my productivity lives in Asana and Evernote. Evernote is housing

They just updated Hazel to its third version last week, and it was a jam-packed upgrade to say
I’ve talked a lot about what tools I use to write, how I planned to write and things of that nature. This is an ongoing process for me, as priorities shift and new opportunities take hold. Still, it’s always fun – and a bit humbling – to go back and look at what I’ve said
Dropbox is a pretty amazing software-as-a-service solution that many of us “power users” simply take for granted a lot of the time. In a nutshell, Dropbox is what I’d describe as a virtual thumb drive. It’s how I explain how it works to those who have no clue as to what it is, and it’s
Earlier today1 we released the latest episode of the Mikes on Mics podcast, where Michael Schechter (the fine gentleman behind A Better Mess) and yours truly talked about task managers.
I’m going to spend the bulk of this weekend doing some much-needed “rejigging” of my apps. Next week I’ll be writing a post per day that goes into the “How I…” aspects that I’ve yet to cover here. Why am I getting around to this now? Well, the first few weeks of the year have
